My kit comes in very handy - 02/23/09 03:05 AM
A couple weekends ago I carried my BOB/SHTF bag to the offroad park for the first time since I put it together. Over the course of one weekend it got a lot of use.
1 ziplock bag/1 ziptie/12" of duct tape - Used as temporary replacement for lost brake fluid reservoir cap on a buddy's rig
sewing kit - Another buddy ripped his pants so he sewed them up
hatchet - had to cut a BIG limb to attach to the side of the Jeep to keep the broken axle from falling out and turning the Jeep into a tripod
another ziptie - hanging a lantern
aspirin - had a killer headache one day
immodium - another guy had serious gastrointestinal difficulties
Not bad for one weekend worth of use. All items replaced as soon as I got home. I'm quickly becoming known among my friends as the guy who's always ready for whatever goes wrong. Due to the amount of tools and spare parts I always carried, they already thought that to some extent, but even more so now.
